    i have seen these for sale at ****s sporting goods, and have tried doing reasearch on them , but to no avail. all i can find with a google search is people with the same questions as to weight, straighness, and if there any good.

    i contacted a rep at easton to find out specs on these arrows. figured id post them hear if anyone else was wondering. ill probably get a set of them and see how they work, and try to make a writeup for yous guys.

    anyways, from what im told, easton makes BEMAN arrows. the easton raider is comparible to the beman ICS hunter, and the easton backdraft is comparible to the ICS bowhunter. soposed to be the same weights and tolarances.

    as to the write up, if i am able to do it, what would you guys want to know. i know im a beginner, but i could give it a try. let me know what you think. thanks, brian.:D

    I just got some of these(backdraft) a while back... Not sure why...
    I'm kind of afraid to use them. I just wanted some to use for target.

    I some how ended up with the 400's, cut to 29", with 100gr. heads.
    I asked the guy at the local shop if they were okay, seeing as I thought they were 340's, but turned out, after I bought them, not.
    He said they were WAY under spined.
    Now I am afraid to use them.

    Any advice?
    I'm shooting at 70lbs. 28" draw.

    If not, I'm going to use them for my wife when we get her a bow.

    ohh, then maybe i should just stick with a more well know arrow. i nkow easton makes them, but i just dont see why a well known company wouldnt put any info on the box or the arrow. well have to see what happens. thanks for the info, brian.

    Maybe I don't understand the "Cam" selection then. What would an Air Raid fall under? Medium, or Soft?

    PS: I used the 70 - 76 Lbs selection as I am probably around 72 in actuality...

    Edit: I was using the Target choice, and they came up, But when I use the Hunting, they don't. That (hunting) says .340.
    Is there a difference? If I am just going to be shooting at a bail, or target, then I am okay, right? Target is good?

    i didnt have any problem with them..if i did, what would i see different?

    i shoot them with pretty good groupings...i have never really bought expensive arrows before, i wonder how much it would help?
